Freeware Tools: Wise Force Deleter 1.22

In Windows, when we try to delete a file, we might see notices or errors like 'Cannot delete file', 'Access is denied', 'undeleted files', 'The file is in use by another program or user', or 'There has been a sharing violation!' Wise Force Deleter is designed to fix all the issues above by terminating the processes using the file or removing file-access restrictions that prevent you from deleting a file. With Wise Force Deleter, you can unlock and delete any file without frustration in Windows. Wise Force Deleter allows you to access it via a context menu.

Windows is configured to prevent the deletion of any file that is used by one of its running applications since this could result in software crashes. However, there is a downside to this: you might find yourself not being able to get rid of an unwanted or potentially dangerous file just because the system sees it as not accessible.

While there are options to help you find your way out from such a situation, you can also consider a dedicated file shredder, such as Wise Force Deleter.

As its name clearly states, Wise Force Deleter is designed to provide a safe method for you to permanently delete a file in Windows, even if it is locked by other applications or has access restrictions.

What Wise Force Deleter does is try to forcefully terminate the processes that use the target file and immediately remove all access limitations, enabling you to freely delete it.

Once installed, Wise Force Deleter adds a new item in the context menu of Windows, which can be used to quickly select the file to erase.

Unfortunately, you can only select one file at a time, although the main window of the application enables you to manually create lists and schedule files for deletion. Also, please note that Wise Force

Deleter must be closed for a newly selected file to be sent to the shredder. Once the file is displayed in the main GUI, you just have to press the 'Unlock & Delete' button.

Wise Force Deleter works like a charm with files that require administrator rights to delete, bypassing this restriction. On the other hand, during our tests, it failed to immediately delete a video file locked in a player, but permanently erased it once the player was closed.
